I played Celeste years and years ago when I was still a massive egg and couldn’t even conceive of the possibility I may be trans, and most of the stuff went over my head. Didn’t know Madeline was trans, it was just a cool platformer I vibed with.

Now I’ve repurchased the game on steam and am replaying it years into my transition and damn… I’ve never played a game where I resonate with the main character on such an intimate level. It’s already made me cry a few times and I’m only at the hotel chapter.
